I saw Sita playing at Scarecrow Video in Seattle.
Instantly loved it. the old jazz tunes, the animation
and color…. and free on line great.

I can appreciate the copyright tangle. I used to be involved
in mail/correspondence art (Anna Banana, Dogfish, Ray Johnson)
producing and exhibiting and I would run into hassles with
copy centers when I was compiling the documentation.

Although the artists sent the mail to me with the implicitly
understood understanding that I could use it as I saw fit without
getting permission etc.

Copy center clerks would refuse to copy them off becuase I
had no ‘proof’ that I had ‘permission’ to use them and they
were prevented from participating in a crime (felony?).

I would have to run around and find someone somewhere that
understood the idea of free sharing and non copyright and
get the copies made . . . but it was a hassle and so ridiculous to have to prove I had rights to copy others works whose philosophy was free, easy access and dissemenation of artistic expression.
